A woman came into the ED/Admitting areabecause her mother arrived earlier by ambulance.Later, while her mother was having tests, shesat in our ED waiting room. When Dee fromHousekeeping came into the room to straightenup. She said hello to the woman and soon theybegan to chat. Suddenly, the woman began tosob. Dee immediately knelt down and gentlyspoke to her. As the woman left for the eveningshe said, “You are all angels to me and mymom.” I believe that sentiment came not onlyfrom the care her mother received but also bythe kindness shown by Dee. I can honestly saythat I feel blessed to have witnessed Jesus’ loveworking through Dee. (Source: Reprint from theFISH newsletter)The Service Excellence Team recently introduced aService Rounding program as a means for ‘catching’problems and fixing them before the patient leaves.By actively rounding with our patients, we hopeto reduce the number of complaints to the PatientAdvocate post-discharge, increase satisfactionresults, and obtain real-time feedback. Byproactively looking at our processes and systemswe can work through concerns and alleviate thepotential for dissatisfaction between both ourpatients and employees.Our patients are transient. Many times we don’tget an opportunity to form relationships. For thatreason the best way for us to show the patientand their family compassion, dignity, and respectis to communicate with them on a regular basis.Information is empowering; for our patients andtheir families it also relieves anxiety. Bobbi Illig,RN, Director, Emergency Department.2Franciscan Healing MinistryIn Franciscan tradition, a healing ministry is a relational experiencethat calls for a conscious, respectful response to the truth that allpeople are created in God’s image, and all of creation is holy.We require all of our employees and volunteers todemonstrate respectful relationships with patientsand each other. When we treat our patients andeach other with dignity and respect we are opento nonjudgmental behavior, which allows us to bemore accepting. In the spirit of St. Francis webelieve it isn’t our heroic measures, but humanunderstanding, that best exhibit our spiritual ministry.The Surgery Department staff doesn’t get todo the same type of patient service roundingas other units because our patients are usuallysedated and not as aware of our presence. Welook for creative ways to make a patient feel lessvulnerable or frightened. Each situation calls fora different technique. For instance, when a childis having surgery we carry them in rather thanpush them in on the gurney. When we reach thedoors we tell him/her to blow and the magicdoors will open. The child blows, the doors openand almost immediately he/she is at ease andfeels safe. Other times I will visit the waiting roomto see if a family would like some food or warmblanket, hoping to give some measure of comfortwhile they wait for news. Anne Abler, Director,Surgery.Acting out the Franciscan tradition of healingrequires us to respond with creativity within ourmeans and minister to the needs of the poorand vulnerable.We would like to thank allof you for the wonderfulcare you gave to my dad.I would have never madeit without you! My dadalways looked forward tothe girls coming in so hecould ‘give’ them a hardtime! Especially Mary Lou –he loved teasing herso much. I personallyappreciated each and everyone of you – you helpedme out so much.May God Bless You All!(from a patient)Recently a member of the Pharmacy Departmentworked with a drug company to get a veryexpensive drug paid for and helped alleviatea patient’s anxiety and worry. Susan Glomski,Director Pharmacy7

M i s s i o n I n t e g r a t i o n A c c o u n t a b i l i t yTo my caregivers,Words cannot express theway I feel about all of you.Each and every one ofyou played a part in myrecovery. The care Ireceived from all of you,24-hours a day wasoutstanding. I was blessedto have you watch overme with love andprofessionalism whiletending to my physical andemotional well-being. I callall of you my angels!(from a patient)The Franciscan healing ministry is holistic, caringfor the spiritual and emotional needs of the patientand family. It also requires the appropriate use oftechnology. Both are integral dimensions ofcompetent and compassionate care. We engageall employees, volunteers, and lay leaders in thisholistic healing ministry. In the hospital-wideService Excellence Program, employees, regardlessof where they work, are patient care focused. Weare responsible for ensuring that a patient’s stay isa good experience. We provide Service BehaviorStandards training to our employees and evaluatethem through the performance evaluation process.Diane Beckmann, Certified OccupationalTherapy Assistant, (COTA), worked witha patient who was challenging to engage.She interested him in a wood project.Upon its completion she sought the expertadvice of Tom, Maintenance Technician IICarpenter, Plant Services. While Diane andthe patient talked with Tom about the stainingproject, the patient showed interest in Tom’swork area and asked if Tom would make him alap table. Tom asked the patient to draw it and hewould make it. The patient drew a small pictureof the table and a few days later Tom broughtthe finished table to the patient. Tom took theinitiative to make the table and offered to allowDiane and the patient to use his work area tostain the initial project that piqued the patient’sinterest and engaged him in his therapy.(Source: Reprint from the FISH newsletter)3We believe integrity of relationships and mutual respectbetween those served and those who render serviceare significant hallmarks of our Franciscan culture.We perform hourly rounding – aides, RNs andhousekeepers. We focus on asking our patientsabout their pain, whether they need to go to therestroom, or if they’d like help repositioning.The housekeepers may not be able to do thehands-on but they can ask and tell the patientsomeone will be right in. This Service Roundinghas shown a decrease in patient falls, less callsto the front desk, and higher patient satisfaction.Gloria Koenig, Director Orthopaedic/Surgical Unit.We offer assistance to our employees andvolunteers to help them recognize and understandtheir own and others’ personality traits – familyrelationships, and community interdependence – asintegral to the spirituality and best work style ofeach individual. Integrity and respect are significanthallmarks reflected through our relationships toexemplify the Franciscan spirit.Service Rounding isn’t comprised of any onething it’s a culmination of everything we do.During one of my rounds I overheard a wife ofa patient talking to a family member. She said,“His nurse is so wonderful and gives me hope.”Kathy Leonhardt, Director ICCU/CardiacCommitment to CommunityThe local and regional civic and Churchcommunities recognize St. Nicholas Hospitalas an enduring sign of Franciscan presencewith a history of stable, dedicated service.All of our programs, activities, and services centeron our mission.

We provide services such as renaldialysis and home health because without themmany would experience great hardships.8

Dear Mary Brasseaux:One year ago the Hospital Sisters blessed and dedicated a warehouse on theirMotherhouse property that would become a Mission Outreach facility. SinceJuly 2006, Mission Outreach shipped more than $2 million of equipment and supplies,equivalent to 14 semi-trailers of items, to numerous countries throughout the worldincluding Cambodia, China, Cuba, El Salvador, Haiti, Mongolia, Pakistan, Philippines,Russia, Tanzania, Ukraine, and the United States. In turn, these items saved ourlandfills and put to use for needy people around the world.At the same time, we named a preferred medical partner of the U.S. Navy’s ProjectHandclasp which allows us to provide humanitarian assistance via U.S. Naval vessels.We have also collaborated with the Springfield Commission on International Visitorsand the United States Library of Congress Open World Leadership Program.In the past fiscal year, every $1 spent by Mission Outreach produced more than $6 inusable equipment and supplies. This valuable assistance has increased the access toquality healthcare for thousands of people in more than 25 countries around the world.St. Nicholas Hospital has played a vital role in our success. In the last year, youhave donated:Equipment and supplies shipped to 12 countries and several others via the U.S.Navy’s Project HandclaspItems have estimated value of more than $34,000More than 6,000 pounds of items.Our mission of being a healing presence throughout the world is realized. It is throughthe generous support of hundreds of businesses, organizations, and individuals thatwe can continue to serve the needy throughout the world.Together we are instruments of peace for those in need around the world.Sincerely,Bruce ComptonPresident, Hospital Sisters Mission Outreach4Stewardship We are a contemporary,corporate expression of Christ’s healing ministry.The local Church and civic community recognizeSt. Nicholas Hospital as a trustworthy and justcorporate steward. We call upon our managementto reflect a contemporary, corporate expression ofChrist’s healing ministry.In the Wisconsin Hospital Association’s FiscalYear 2006 Community Benefits Survey, we reportednearly $290,000 in public programs and screenings,such as support groups, CPR training, health fairs,and weight management education. Provided bydedicated hospital staff, these services were offeredfree of charge or below cost.St. Nicholas Hospital fosters its Franciscantradition through its reverence for the people ofChrist, the resources of theearth, and the missionof the Church.9

S t r a t e g i c D i r e c t i o n sTo the StaffWe wanted to thank youso very much for yourwonderful care afterBryon’s bike accident.It was very upsetting toend our holiday in thehospital but yourkindness to both of ushelped so much.He is improving dailyand we traveled home inthree days without toomuch problem.Our very sincere andheartfelt thanks.(from a patient)I Objective IStrategic Goals & Objectives: Fiscal Year 2007Like any company, St. Nicholas Hospital leadershipworks to develop a strategic plan to ensure longtermgrowth and success. Within this plan weconnect each goal and objective to our mission,vision, and values.Strengthen Financial Business PracticesOne of our strategic responsibilities is to strengthenfinancial business practices and, in conjunctionwith HSHS Business Advisory Committee, workto standardize our information for managed careplan review purposes.In order to ensure we are civically responsibleto these important issues, many of ourdepartment managers and administrativeleaders participate in speaking out on theissues. Our active participation is vitallyimportant to our hospital, system,and patients.Our hospital leadership’s participation with theNational Association for Home Health Care(NAHHC) effectively resulted in influencing 76US Senators to sign the Collins/Feingold letteropposing the spending cuts to home health andhospice services.Our Perioperative Services staff offered educationto area physician office staffs. These sessions helpedincrease the medical office staff’s awareness andunderstanding of the changes in the UnitedHealthcare contract and other mandatory managedcare preauthorization requirements.We frequently send delegates to our state capitalto speak with government officials on a wide rangeof issues.• Opposed the proposed cuts in Medicaid funding,which unfortunately did not pass.• Opposed proposed changes in DRGs/Medicarereimbursements.• Support the permanent provision in the PensionProtection Act of 2006 that allows tax-freedistributions of up to $100,000 from individualretirement accounts (IRAs) to charitableorganization.• Opposed the proposed hospital tax.• Support the inclusion of the proposed Two Centsfor Tooth Sense, a program that will increase thetax per can of soda (by two cents) to increaseMedicaid reimbursements to dentists.Letter writing campaigns, visits to Madison tomeet with our state representatives and senators,and a presence in our national, regional, and stateprofessional organizations are ways in whichwe deliver our message and address the needs ofour patients.II Objective IIFurther develop service lines andinvestigate & develop other satellite opportunitiesRehabilitation Services Our hospital and theservices we provide are constantly changing in orderto ensure that we meet the needs of our patients,their families, and community. Each year we analyzeour service lines and look for ways to develop newservices that advance the level of care.C o n g r a t u l a t i o n s r e h a b s e r v i C e s s t a f f !BESTRehabilitation ServiceSt. Nicholas HospitalSheboygan Press 2007 Readers’ Choice AwardsKnee Replacement Procedure for Women Werecognize the unique needs of women and workedwith Kevin Gassner, MD, orthopaedic surgeon toprovide special equipment for a new knee replacementprocedure that he performs for this population.

S t r a t e g i c D i r e c t i o n sIVMission Compatible, Quality EmployeesObjective IVRecruit, Develop, and RetainCreating the Franciscan culture at our Hospital isdependant on our ability to recruit, develop, andretain mission compatible employees. We furtherour employees’ education and mission trainingthrough programs that emphasize the importanceof our mission, vision, and values.Members of our Professional Nurse PracticeCouncil attended “Elements of SuccessfulGovernance: How to Create a Pathway toProfessional Nursing.”The Administrative Director of Human Resourcesand the Director of Marketing and Public Relationsattended an advanced development program onMyers-Briggs Type Indicator ® (MBTI ).In order for us to understand our diversity, it isimperative that we actively participate in programssuch as Understanding Our Differences: an MBTIExperience for Employees. The program assistsemployees in understanding the importance ofdeveloping and maintaining positive andharmonious work relationships.V Objective V Implement StrategiesApproved in the Hospital’s Strategic PlanSt. Nicholas Hospital and a group of sub-specialistsurgeons broke ground to build a first forSheboygan County, a multi-specialty freestandingsurgery center.The proposed Sheboygan Surgery Center is a14,660 square foot building. It is a single story slabon grade, steel frame construction featuring threeoperating rooms and two procedure rooms. Thenew Center will be located on the northwest cornerof the Hospital’s campus.Outpatient Surgery Centers demonstrate theability to improve quality, customer service, andreduce costs. They are also ahead of the curve inidentifying promising avenues for improving thedelivery of health care.It was verymuch appreciated.I want to thank youwith all my heart. Mygratitude knows nobounds. You saw a manwho needed help andstepped in.God Bless you.(from a patient)Accepting our differences is also dependent on ourspiritual and ethical strengths. In conjunction withour sister hospital, St. Vincent Hospital, Green Bay,Wisconsin, we conducted the program, Re-InvestingSpirituality and Ethics in our Networks (RISEN).The Core Competency Committee developedLeadership Core Competencies and Related Behaviorsmeasurement tools. We plan to use these tools toevaluate each leader’s success in living the LeadershipCore Competencies and Related Behaviors.The Assistant Administrator, Patient Care Servicesand Administrative Director, Human Resourcesparticipated in the HSHS pilgrimage to Germanyand Italy, retracing the footprints of Sts.
